Or whatever you want to call it.

I'm referring to the way your character
gets skewed when you tk/revive someone
and stay on top of them until your both
basically laying on the ground yet your
vision is just fine.

Can we disable this?

I find it exceedingly unfair.

It also pretty much empties the server.

LoL it's a glitch so I don't think it can be disabled. Just aim low and for the center and you can put them down pretty easily.

I thought it was funny myself

um no you can't...

you see they can get headshots on you just as easily
yet you can't get them back cause their head is freaking
spinning all over the place.

ya it was great fun watching the server empty.

If you come upon a mangled person aim to wear their head/body WOULD be...this is simply a glitch that can be avioded by not crouching when you revive. If you need to crouch to revive go learn from Edogg

WRONG its done by pressing your bound +salute key for a sec or 2 AFTER the revive. this CHANGES the hitbox location.

And YES Jimmy it makes getting headshots WAY more difficult.

People doing this should be kicked.

Thats not how I've done it. All I did was revive someone in a corner while crouching and hold the crouch over them, never used salute.

Oh +salute really gets em mangled

Theres two ways to mangle that I've seen and have done in the past, not these days though. 1.) if a person is waiting for a revive and you stay on top of their body, while crouching, and revive them when they try moving away from you they get stuck somewhat inside of you and the more they struggle to move the more it mangles them until they are completely mangled. then you move away and free the person, and they are now mangled. 2.) if a person is waiting for a revive and you drag them into a solid object, for example a wall, if you get it just right it will start to mangle them. this is probably what savant is talking about with the +salute ; drag, and shove.

Even if a vote were to pass to kick
the 3 people doing it, it wouldn't solve anything.

People changing their hitbox location
90 degrees shoud be considered
cheaters and kicked.

keekanoo use to kick for this. its a glitch and for the most part people mangled every so often are just glitches, get use to it. if people are mangling eachother on purpose then i can see them being kicked, but if its accidental then whatever.

Good luck Jim

I didn't have any trouble killing them. I fact I positively abused them with the snipers rifle

As for it making all the people leave I don't buy that. People always leave at that time because at 4/5 am us time I guess they really need to sleep.

Ultimately, nope I can't be bothered to finish the sentence. Take it up with wTh if it bothers you that much...

well damn Jimbo, didn't realize what we were doing at 5AM this morning when it was 5 on 5 wasn't your fancy.

If it helps the situation at all, I'll apologize.
I was WA$TED! yeah... there's my scapegoat.

If you think somehow its a cheat... its not.

If you think we should be kicked... that's your opinion.

Here's the greatest tip of all : even though the char is 'mangled' if you still aim where the head is, you'll hit it.
I know because I've tested it.

KTHXBYE!!!!!11!!!!!
